Full textHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common neoplasm and the second most common cause of death in the world. Hepatocarcinogenesis is a multistep process characterized in patients with chronic liver diseases by a spectrum of hepatic nodules that mark the progression from regenerative nodules to dysplastic lesions followed by HCC. Liver transplantation remains the curative therapeutic option able to treat both the HCC and the underlying liver disease. The issue is that there is no objective and quantifiable marker for quality control of liver graft. Specific biomarkers of early stages of HCC are also an unmet need.In this study, we have evaluated the potential of infrared (IR) microspectroscopy for the diagnosis of steatosis, one of the most important factors affecting the liver allograft function. Vibrational microspectroscopy, such as Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR), allows detecting spectral characteristics associated with different molecular components present in the biological sample, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Our first working hypothesis was that the progression of liver steatosis corresponds not only to the accumulation of lipids but also to dramatic changes in the qualitative composition of tissue. Indeed, a lower grade of steatosis showed a decrease in glycogen content and concomitant increase in lipids in comparison with normal liver. Intermediate steatosis exhibited an increase in glycogen and major changes in lipids, with a significant contribution of esterified fatty acids with elongated carbon chains and unsaturated lipids, and these features were more pronounced in a high grade of steatosis. Furthermore, we have shown, that FTIR approach allows a systemic discrimination of morphological features, leading to a separate investigation of steatotic vesicles and the non-steatotic counterpart of the tissue. This highlighted the fact that dramatic biochemical changes occur in the non-steatotic part of the tissue also despite its normal histological aspect, suggesting that the whole tissue reflects the grade of steatosis. The second part of the thesis focused on hepatocarcinogenesis; a multistep process that is characterized in most cirrhotic livers by the progression from hyperplastic regenerative nodules to low grade dysplastic nodules (LGDN), high grade dysplastic nodules (HGDN) and finally small HCC which corresponds either to vaguely nodular well differentiated HCC so called early HCC or to distinctly nodular moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas. Since the differential diagnosis between precancerous dysplastic nodules and early HCC remains extremely difficult, we addressed the potential of FTIR microspectroscopy for grading cirrhotic nodules. The study was focused on 39 surgical specimens including normal livers as controls, dysplastic nodules, early HCC and the progressed HCC. Profound alterations of the biochemical composition of the pathological liver were demonstrated by FTIR microspectroscopy. Indeed, dramatic changes were observed in lipids, proteins and sugars highlighting the metabolic reprogramming in carcinogenesis. The major changes were observed in the frequency domain 950-1480 cm-1 in which several bands allowed significant discrimination of cirrhotic nodules, dysplastic lesions and HCC. Finally, a significant discrimination between benign, dysplastic nodules and early HCC remained possible using a FTIR microscope equipped with a laboratory-based infrared source that can be easily implemented in hospital environment. In conclusion, our study positions FTIR microspectroscopy as a versatile and powerful approach for investigating liver diseases, such as steatosis, dysplastic lesions and cancer. Further studies on larger series of patients as well as on biopsies will allow confirming the clinical reliability of such spectral signatures. Therefore, we anticipate that FTIR microspectroscopy will open new avenue in clinical diagnosis

Full textThis thesis presents experimental data on the fragmentationof gas phase sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and deutheromethane(CD4) molecules after their interaction with synchrotronradiation in the energy range of 70-200 eV. The data wasobtained using coincidence spectroscopy between energy resolvedelectrons and ions (EREICO).
Degradation of the molecular bond upon selective ionizationof different molecular orbitals has been studied by measuringionic fragments in coincidence with energy selected electrons.Besides the direct ionisation of the orbitals also the indirectprocess, in which the hole is created by the decay of a highlyenergetic core-excited state, was studied. The differencesdetected in the fragmentation after the direct and indirectionisation of a selected orbital can be related, in some cases,with the relaxation of the nuclei in the potential energysurface of the core excited state during its lifetime, thusproviding information on the neutral core excited state.
An experimental set-up capable of photon inducedfluorescence spectroscopy (PIFs) studies of core excitedmolecules in the visible range has been constructed. Thistechnique can yield complementary information to the EREICOdata about the energy distribution in the fragmentation sincethe internal energy of excited emitted fragments that decay inthe visible can be measured. It also allows the detection ofpossible neutral fragments.

Full textThis thesis contains two parts. The first part concerns the research work on free molecules using synchrotron-radiation-related techniques. Auger electron spectra of two free open-shell molecules, O2 and NO, were studied experimentally and theoretically. Photoionization experimental technique with tunable synchrotron radiation source was used to induce core-level electron ionization and obtain the KVV normal Auger electron spectra. A quantitative assignment of O2 normal Auger spectrum was obtained by applying ab initio CI calculations and LVI Auger line shape simulations including the bond length dependence of Auger transition rates. The photon energy dependence of normal Auger electron spectra was focused on with photon energies in the vicinities of core-ionization threshold energies. Consequently, the MAPCI (Molecular Auger Post Collision Interaction) theory was developed. Taking the near-threshold O2 normal Auger spectrum as an example, the two extreme cases of MAPCI effect, “atomic-like PCI” and “molecular PCI”, were discovered and discussed. The effect of shape resonance on near-threshold molecular normal Auger spectrum was discussed taking NO near threshold normal Auger spectra as example.
The second part deals with research work on the chemisorption of small epoxy organic molecules, ethylene oxide, methyl oxirane, on Si (100) surfaces. Synchrotron radiation related techniques, UPS, XPS and NEXAFS, were applied. Based on the valence photoemission spectra, C 1s and Si 2p XPS spectra, the epoxy ring opening reactions of these molecules in chemisorption process were proved. Further tentative search for the surface-adsorbate CDAD effect was performed, and no evident circular dichroism was confirmed.

Full textSynchrotron radiation is one of the key factors for the tremendous success of macromolecular crystallography during the past decades. More than 90 % of all protein structures in PDB database were solved by crystallography using synchrotron radiation sources and around 95 % of them were determined from cryocooled crystals1,2. A whole data set can be collected from one flash-cooled crystal. Data-collection at cryogenic temperatures drastically reduces radiation damage effects. However, structures determined using cryo freezing techniques are limited by static nature of frozen crystals.With the recent development of X-ray free-electron laser facilities (XFELs), which are able to produce extremely intense femtosecond X-ray pulses, the era of “Diffraction before destruction” and serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) for micro-/nano-sized crystals has begun3. In the SFX technique a protein crystal is only exposed once to the X-ray beam for tens of femtoseconds before it is completely destroyed. The data is collected from randomly oriented crystals that are exposed to the X-ray beam; only one shot per crystal is possible. In order to receive a complete data set, new data analysis techniques that are capable of dealing with large quantities of diffraction data have been developed. First experiment where serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) approach was first carried out was performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS, Stanford, USA) in December 2009 on photosystem I and lysozyme crystals4,5,6. At XFELs facilities crystallographers can perform room temperature structure determination of proteins almost free of radiation damage, due to the fact that femtosecond flashes of FEL is so brief, that it passes through the sample before the significant radiation damage occurs.After presenting first successful experiments with SFX technique, efforts to perform serial crystallography of micron-sized crystals at room-temperature started at synchrotron sources. First attempt to perform synchrotron room-temperature serial crystallography has been done at PETRA III at DESY in Hamburg using glass capillary based microfluidics7. This method was named synchrotron serial millisecond crystallography (SMX), where thousands of patterns are collected from individual crystals passing through the X-ray beam8. With development of room-temperature serial crystallography techniques at the synchrotrons, the exposure distributed on a large number of crystals in the sample, which helps compensating the effect of increased radiation damage at ambient temperature.Although synchrotron sources most certainly will never reach the same brightness of X-ray pulses like XFELs, they have some advantages. One of them is possibility to perform any set up due to the flexibility of the parameters of microfocus beamlines. Another advantage of SMX is that several shots per crystals are possible. Also should be mentioned that synchrotrons are more widespread all over the world, so possibility to get a beamtime at the synchrotron is much higher than at XFELs, because currently only two XFEL facilities are open for users (LCLS, USA and SACLA, Japan).The aim of this dissertation is to propose and to implement methods that will allow to collect data using the serial crystallography approach at the European synchrotron radiation facility (ESRF, Grenoble, France). This dissertation presents different techniques to perform synchrotron serial crystallography at ID13 beamline. The goal was to develop synchrotron serial crystallography based on scanning micro-diffraction to demonstrate that synchrotron sources can be used as a routine instrument to perform serial crystallography with soluble and membrane proteins. The aspects of the data collection and data processing also will be discussed

Full textWithin this work, the technique of synchrotron X-ray activation has been developed to generate noble metal particles in soda-lime silicate glasses. The photoactivation has enabled the separation of nucleation and growth of noble metal particles. Thus, very small particles and the early stages of the cluster growth process could be identified. The glasses have been characterized by photoluminescence, UV-Vis absorption, EPR, SAXS and XANES spectroscopy. As a result, gold dimers could be identified in synchrotron activated gold-doped glasses. Thermal annealing at 550°C has induced the growth of gold nanoparticles by heterogeneous nucleation. As a model for the nucleation center a gold dimer bound to a silanolate center has been suggested. In contrast to gold, in synchrotron activated silver-doped glasses non-luminescent silver atoms have been generated. Annealing at 300°C has induced the growth of small luminescent silver particles. After a thermal treatment at a higher temperature of 500°C silver nanoparticles have been generated. The early stages of the gold and silver cluster growth process have been identified as efficient donators in photoluminescence energy transfer processes. An unprecedented increase of the gold amount of up to 20 mol% has been achieved by the preparation of ultrathin silicate-titanate layers with a sol-gel spin-coating approach. The nonlinear photoluminescence of the gold nanoparticles generated by annealing at 300°C could be excited by a three-photon induced process. Furthermore, the technique of titanium:sapphire laser activation has been developed to write nanometer-sized patterns containing gold nanoparticles into the glassy layers. TEM and SEM studies have shown that the gold nanoparticles are not only embedded within the thin films, but are also located on top of the glassy layers. Their accessibility to biological molecules has been proven by determining the surface-enhanced Raman scattering of adsorbed adenine molecules.

Full textIn this thesis, the formation of self-assembled monolayers of different chalcogenide molecules and planer π-conjugated molecules and their electronic and structural characteristics were systematically studied mainly by synchrotron based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy electron diffraction. A study of formation of hybrid organic-inorganic self assembled structure was performed by layer by layer assembly of a dithiol on ZnO(0001) with intermediate metal deposition. Additionally as a complement to the study of chalcogen head group molecules the adsorption characteristics of selenium and sulfur were investigated. The high resolution XPS and near edge absorption fine structure spectroscopy allowed to investigate the characteristics of self-assembled monolayers of benzene selenide and selenophene on Cu (100), and dihexyldiselenide on Ni(111) and Pd(111) and showed in particular the existence of Se-C bond breaking processes and existence of different adsorption sites of molecules. These conclusions were supported by the study of atomic selenium adsorption, which also shows existence different adsorption sites for the atomic Se with different chemical environments. These conclusions are mainly based on high resolution XPS study of characteristic Se3d, Se3p spectra, valance band spectrum and LEED imaging. The formation of a 5,5- bis (mercaptomethyl)-2,20- bipyridine (BPD) with SH termination on ZnO(0001) was demonstrated allowing subsequent grafting of Ag and Ni and further assembly of BPD on this metal-dithiol layer. The changes in electronic properties were determined from valence band spectra. The large π-conjugated molecule, NTCDA, was deposited on different metal surfaces and its structure morphology and chemical properties with respect to the metal surface was investigated. The NTCDA molecules displays a lying down structure with two different domains on Ag (110) and Cu(100) but three domain on Cu(111) surface. Compared with the one on the inert Au surface, a strong interface interaction between the molecules and Cu, Ag substrates plays an important role in determining the orientation and bonding state of the organic films
Attal, Maher. "Lattice optimization and nonlinear beam dynamical studies on SESAME and SOLEIL storage rings." Paris 11, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA112095.
Full textSome aspects in designing a lattice for synchrotron light sources have been discussed and used to design the future lattice for SESAME storage ring. The adopted strategy for the linear and nonlinear optimization resulted in large dynamic apertures which guarantees good injection efficiency and beam lifetime. It has been shown that including the vacuum chamber in the dynamic aperture calculations was a necessary tool in the nonlinear optimization of SESAME lattice since it was possible to see inner destructive nonlinearities wich couldn’t be seen in case of absolute dynamic aperture calculations. This idea has been supported by the Frequency Map Analysis (FMA) method. A new method has been adopted to reduce the first order momentum compaction factor (α1) keeping a low emittance. This technique has been applied to SOLEIL machine to have extremely short bunches theoretically and experimentally. The Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) from the infrared beam line AILES could be observed in the Tera Hertz region. During one of these experiments three beams have been stored simultaneously in the storage ring. It is, to our knowledge, the first observation of such event. A trial to explain this event is done by deriving analytical formulas to evaluate α1, α2 and α3 experimentally. An experience is shown in rehabilitating the old BESSY I Microtron in order to be used as a pre-injector for SESALME machine

Full textThis Licentiate thesis presents research accomplished at theSection of Atomic and Molecular Physics at the Royal Instituteof Technology in Stockholm using photon induced fluorescencespectroscopy (PIFS) during the last two years.
The main results presented are summarized:
- Neutral photodissociation in CO was observed aftersynchrotron photon excitation in the range 19-26 eV bycollecting dispersed fluorescence from excited neutral C atoms.Follow-up ab initio calculations point out CO Rydberg seriesconverging to the CO+ C and D states as precursors.
- The branching ratio between N2 + (B-X)(v=1,v=2) and (v=0,v=1)transitions in the 20-46 eV energy range reveals strongnon-Franck-Condon effects. Ab initio calculations indicate thatthe autoionization of certain superexcited states areresponsible for some of the structures present in the branchingratio curve, confirming the important role of non-Rydbergdoubly excited resonant states (NRDERS) in de-excitationprocesses above the ionization potential.
- Photon induced neutral dissociation processes in NO arereported. Neither Rydberg series nor other molecular states inNO known so far can account for the collected data. From abinitio calculations more information regarding the NO precursorstates and the mechanism behind the observed neutraldissociation were obtained.
- The details of a new experimental set-up for gas phasefluorescence measurements using synchrotron radiation aredescribed. It is able to perform simultaneous measurements ofdispersed and total fluorescence in the visible range. Thefirst results obtained with this set-up are presented,concerning fluorescence after excitation of the N2 molecules inthe N 1s edge.
These four studies conform the set of papers enclosed in theLicentiate thesis.
Finally a pre-study to further apply PIFS to speciespreviously excited by microwave discharge is included as futureplans.

Full textThis thesis presents experimental studies of gas phasemolecular relaxation after excitation with synchrotron photonsin the 15-35 eV and in the 70-350 eV regions.
In the 15-35 eV region, molecular relaxation by neutraldissociation processes and non
Franck-Condon effects in N2 and O2 molecules have beenstudied by means of dispersed fluorescence and photoelectronspectroscopy experimental techniques, respectively. From thedispersed fluorescence data, excitation functions for themeasured atomic fluorescence spectra have been obtained. Fromthe recorded photoelectron spectra vibrational branching ratioshave been produced. The results obtained reveal that Rydbergseries and singly and doubly excited valence states of theappropriate symmetry energetically accessible in the studiedregion and interactions between themaccount for most of theobserved effects in these two type of experiments.
In the 70-350 eV range, molecular relaxation processesresulting in fragmentation of CD4 and SF6 after absorption ofsynchrotron light have been studied by energy resolved electronion coincidence technique using a multicoincidence experimentalstation developed by our group during the last five years forsuch type of experiments. The coincidence measurements yieldedmass spectra from which information about the kinematics of thedetected fragments has been deduced by means of Monte Carlosimulations of the experimental peak shapes. The obtainedresults show completely different dissociation patternsdepending on the molecular electronic states studied. Thesepatterns reflect the bonding properties of the excited orbitalsand they permit the description and in some cases theidentification of the different molecular relaxation pathwaysobserved. The achievements presented in this thesis exemplifythe potential of the multicoincidence station used in thereported experiments.

Full textThis thesis summarises the experimental results on molecular spectroscopy of gas phase molecules using synchrotron radiation in the UV- VUV and soft-X rays regions. The results of applying Photon Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (PIFS) to D2, H2S, H2O and pyrimidine are presented and discussed. Both inner and outer shell excitations of free molecules lead to different relaxation processes. However, a common result is that when the molecule breaks and the resulting neutral fragments are left in an excited state, they might fluoresce in the UV- Vis range. PIFS technique has two main advantages, it permits to detect neutral fragments and to identify the fluorescing species. From this fact, we can infer dissociation channels and trace back the electronic processes that led to the fluorescence. For these molecules we have analysed and interpreted both dispersed and undispersed fluorescence. What motivates our work is the lack of fluorescence studies and in a more general sense, to contribute to the knowledge of important molecules for life such as water and pyrimidine.
